A teenager is due to face Children's Court today accused of leading police on a pursuit through Lake Macquarie last night.
Officers responded to reports of number plates being stolen from cars near the McDonald's Restaurant on Main Road Edgeworth just after 10.30 and noticed a Honda Integra without plates on Neilson Street, but the car sped away when they attempted to pull it over.
They followed the car through Edgeworth, Barnsley, Holmesville and West Wallsend at speeds allegedly reaching 110 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone before it crashed into a gutter.
The driver, a 17-year old male, was arrested after a short foot pursuit and taken to Toronto Police Station.
He was charged with police pursuit - not stop - drive dangerously, drive unregistered & uninsured motor vehicle, unaccompanied learner, stealing, goods in custody, and other miscellaneous offences.
The teen was refused bail to appear at a children’s court today.
